Summary
Aarti Bagul, a member of the Go-To-Market staff at OpenAI, introduces the ChatGPT Admin plugin as a solution to eliminate manual navigation across multiple dashboards, settings screens, and analytics reports. The plugin operates using existing administrator permissions to allow users to analyze workspace data, modify settings, and act on user requests within a continuous chat interface in ChatGPT Work.
The demonstration begins by navigating to the Plugins tab in the ChatGPT sidebar, searching for the ChatGPT Admin plugin, and installing it. To prepare for an upcoming monthly AI rollout review, Bagul submits a prompt asking ChatGPT to show 30-day adoption trends across ChatGPT, Codex, and Work, while comparing credit usage changes across teams using two visual charts. The resulting output highlights that Work active users grew to 90,000, representing a 45.2 percent increase, while team credits rose from 18.8 million to 27.8 million. Finance accounts for the largest credit surge, representing 53 percent of the total increase.
To investigate the cause of the surge in Finance, Bagul asks for a breakdown by product, model, and reasoning effort. The system reveals that the increase was primarily driven by Work volume rather than a shift in model selection or reasoning configuration. To complete the administrative workflow, Bagul instructs ChatGPT to update the monthly AI rollout PowerPoint deck with the generated charts and takeaways, write a concise summary of changes, and post it directly to the designated AI rollout Slack channel.
Bagul then addresses pending usage limit requests by asking ChatGPT to display a table of all outstanding requests, including current usage, effective limits, and submitted justifications. She prompts the model to open the request with the highest usage, submitted by Nina Patel for an upcoming agent workspace launch, displaying daily consumption history and the proposed 4,000 credit limit. Bagul approves the limit increase to 4,000 credits and adds a confirmation note within the prompt, completing the governance action without leaving the conversation.
Installing the Admin Plugin
Aarti Bagul demonstrates how to open the plugins menu in the ChatGPT sidebar, search for the ChatGPT Admin plugin, and install it to enable workspace administrative capabilities.
Analyzing Usage and Generating Reports
Using natural language prompts in the Work tab, an administrator can generate comparative charts tracking adoption and credit usage by product and department, drill down into specific cost drivers by model and reasoning effort, and automatically update slide decks and Slack channels.
Reviewing and Approving Usage Limit Requests
The plugin lists all pending usage limit requests with current consumption, existing limits, and submitted justifications, allowing admins to inspect individual user trends and approve limit adjustments with custom notes directly in the chat.
The Bottom Line
The video demonstrates how the ChatGPT Admin plugin brings analytics, reporting, and user governance tasks directly into conversational workflows in ChatGPT Work. It establishes that administrators can investigate consumption metrics, edit presentations, publish updates to Slack, and approve limit requests from a single interface. While the demo highlights administrative workflows, it leaves deeper role-based configuration and custom policy automation unaddressed.
